Sons of Vancouver Realms of Rye 3 Mentho
$169.99
Realms of Rye Release 03, was bottled at 59.6% after maturing in ex-Bourbon and new American oak casks. Called 'Mentol & Evergreen',
Producer Description
"The much anticipated third release from the Realms of Rye series, dives deeper into the flavour spectrum of rye grain. This expression was expertly blended by the whisky-making team at Sons of Vancouver Distillery, with barrels carefully chosen and married to evoke vegetal flavours of menthol & evergreen.
"Release 03 ‘Menthol & Evergreen’ provides a stroll through a lush forest of conifers, wild herbs, and dense moss. The character of the rye grain provides notes of eucalyptus, pine needles, dill weed, and sweet grass. Maturation in ex-bourbon and new oak barrels provides a backbone of mint chocolate, green walnut, and cut lumber.
"Following the precise standards set for the Realms of Rye series, all the flavour in this whisky comes from the fermentation, distillation, maturation, and blending process alone."
Uncommon Crab Pear Cider
$28.99
Info from the Bottle,
"In the cider-world, crabapples and pears sit on opposite ends of the spectrum of ingredients. Pears are sweet and subtle, wOKhereas crabapples are intense, bringing layers of flavour and deep dimensions of acidity.
This cider is the perfect marriage between two extremes, one that demonstrates a gestalt wherein the best parts of each shine, creating something better than either component could be alone."
Decadent Drams Ardnamurchan 7 Year
$229.99
Bottled at 53%, this 7 year old Ardnamurchan is the product of whisky from 2017 and 2018, including 2 peated malts matured in refill Oloroso (2017) and an unpeated malt matured in 1st fill Oloroso Sherry (2018).
Producer Description
"This is a sort of sequel to Whisky Sponge Edition No.100. We took a similar approach but on a smaller scale and with a slightly lower targeted bottling strength of 53%. The objective being to achieve immediate and maximum quaffability, while once again drilling into this rich profile of peat, small cask influence and sherry. We took three octaves of Ardnamurchan to make this bottling: two sibling v.17 peated refill oloroso octaves were marred for around four months in a refill barrel with a v.18 unpeated first fill oloroso octave. The result, we are confident, is lip-smackingly delicious!"

Field House Super Tall Hazy Triple IPA
$8.29
From the Brewery;
"Super fun, super hoppy, super tall! We packed experimental HBC 630, Cryo Citra and Tango hops into this Hazy triple IPA for a blend of sweet berry and citrus notes mixed with mild floral and earthy character. At 10% ABV this one says "Go big or go home!"
Whiskyland Ch.20 Kildalton 22 Year

Producer Description
"Welcome to the far future of Whiskyland. Please excuse the mess, but the rise and fall of countless civilisations, distilleries and 'brands' has left a fair bit of clutter over the fathomless aeons of time. While you are acclimatising, please pour yourself a hefty measure of this 22 year old 'Kildalton' Islay malt whisky and relax. It was aged for 22 years in a 2nd fill barrel, then finished in sub-space cryo-stasis for Googolplex^(Graham's Number). It was finally bottled at natural cask strength for the enjoyment of all post-consciousness beings in the present era of Whiskyland."
Whiskyland Ch.16 Highland Park 20 Year
$759.99
This is a curious Highland Park, a marriage of a First Fill Sherry Hogshead from 2005, with a Refill Sherry Hogshead from 1997, bottled after 20 years (the age of the younger component) and 55.5%. 89.47pts Whiskybase
Producer Description
"There are many ways to Whiskyland - but, like these two befuddled Vikings, most people have to first get lost in order to find their way here. Whiskyland Chapter Sixteen is a marriage of a 2005 1st fill sherry hogshead of Highland Park, with a 1997 refill hogshead of Highland Park. The resulting 20 year old grog, bottled at natural marrying strength, is a magnificent, multi-vintage take on classical, mature Highland Park distillery character, with a subtle drenching of sherry. So, lash up your sails for a storm, christen all your weapons with names like 'Bone Squelcher', 'Skull Mangler' and 'Thighroid Dispruptor', grab a few nosing horns and pray to your preferred assortment of imaginary Gods that you wash ashore on one of the stretches of Whiskyland coastline that is well-served by hostelry and at least three star accommodation."

"For almost two decades, we have shown the permanence of our commitment to barley provenance. Aided by the determination and resilience of our local farming partners, Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2014 is the latest vintage of the unpeated, locally grown single malt.
"Distilled using barley grown solely on Islay, the single malt truly celebrates place and provenance. The latest Islay Barley vintage is distilled from barley grown on eight local farms, all within an 11-mile radius of Bruichladdich Distillery.
"Fully traceable from farm to glass, Islay Barley 2014 has been matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon casks, sherry butts and second-fill wine casks, balancing the influence of the oak with the locally grown barley.
"The result is a cereal-forward single malt with notes of apricot and peach, malty digestive biscuit, and a hint of fresh grass. A subtle maritime note also lingers, nodding to the whisky’s all Islay harvest, distillation and maturation."
